the consequences are still ongoing. while those who have moved to shelters here in tokyo are facing that guilt and the pressure to move back home there are others who have lost everything cannot handle the overwhelming change and they are facing even darker demons japan already has one of the highest suicide rates in the world and following the disaster in march the government has issued a warning about a possible nationwide epidemic of depression here some organic farm us committed suicide because you know before nick. is everything they know each other a good soil for after many hours of hard work and it's just contaminated one night going to go so. far. i'm very sad to hear the news and many other farmers are also very much depressed a recent national survey in japan performed by dr roshini and his team shows that

suicide rates in japan have been found increased in the months since the disaster compared to the same timeframe in the previous two years but the demographics are not what you might expect. a rate increase. in the. centers. but the fear areas because some by birds struggling to you costs. they have not had to make suicide this disaster has certainly taken its toll on japan's economy and such constant reminders of an intense topic can harm the collective psyche of the people who live here as well because of the. tsunami disaster plus nuclear disaster many people actually lost their jobs or their working on the show has crushed. so. yeah they have of so many good

reasons to commit suicide. causing japan's death toll to keep rising even little the initial disaster has subsided months before in japan sean thomas over to. the cleanup of the stricken fukushima nuclear plant has been praised by the head of the u.n. nuclear watchdog who said radiation could be contained by the end of the year yukiya amano is visiting the facility to assess the progress in preventing the nuclear crisis from getting worse reactors were heavily damaged by the earthquake and tsunami has caused the cause to melt and released a dangerous amounts of radiation into the environment workers have since been trying to restore the cooling system and stop contaminated water from the reactors leaking into the sea but hiroshima based nuclear energy expert robert jacobs believes the i.a.e.a. visit is a farce and the japanese government still isn't doing enough to protect people. in essence what this is is just just trying to give a nice shine to

a terrible terrible situation and policy and not really in any way dealing with the actual problems that are facing us here in japan and least plants are still leaching radioactivity into the environment every day into the sea and through the steam of the combing into the air and what what's now preoccupied many people in japan is that even for those of us that live far enough away that we thought we were not in any way threatened by the radiation from the plants we're now finding that because of insufficient oversight to the food supply and public health questions that radiation is turning up in all kinds of food products so you're finding now people in far away from fukushima areas are now beginning to realize that they're not going to be escaping the radiation because of that distance and additionally besides that there's still a rather chaotic policy about what will be happening in the areas that were contaminated near the plants but outside of the evacuation zone for example fukushima city we know that that neither taco tokyo electric or the government

inform the public when they knew that there had been all nuclear meltdowns people were not told to evacuate at that time and in terms of the current situation there is a great deal of anger especially among parents in fukushima prefecture and nearby that there is not a comprehensive system to try to protect the health of the people in those areas so you are seeing meetings every couple of days in which government officials are being yelled out by local residents who are complaining that they're not being given enough information about the health threats to their children and their families and the situation is in many ways here in japan compounding. that was a nuclear energy expert robert jacobs in hiroshima explaining the current situation in japan. he without see now we're like obama is calling on the american people to step up to the plate and pressure the politicians in dealing with the debt standoff congress has one week left to raise the country's multi-trillion dollar debt

ceiling if it wants to avoid a potentially devastating default in a nationwide address obama warned that an american default would impact around the world you blame republicans for stalling talks and refusing to accept a balanced approach republican speaker john boehner hit back accusing obama of spending beyond the country's means and expecting a blank check republicans and democrats have been locked in a dispute over whether spending cuts tax hikes is the answer to the debt crisis washington watcher matthew says the government needs to act fast to avoid an investor exodus. obama and the democrats in congress just want to keep on spending. and so they would like to see the debt ceiling raised so that they can continue to give rewards to their supporters among the labor unions and the various political organizations that are sympathetic to the democratic party's cause the u.s. is able to keep raising its debt ceiling because people investors around the world

have confidence in the united states they believe that the u.s. government will honor its outstanding obligations and so as long as people have faith in the investors have faith in the u.s. government in its credit worthiness then the u.s. could keep raising its debt ceiling the problem right now is that the debt is so high that that in itself is starting to become a negative factor that could lead to a credit rating downgrade of the united states government if china loses confidence in. america. american government's ability to pay its debts then the u.s. will have nowhere to run to the u.s. when the only the only choice it would have would be to keep printing money to inflate the currency run the printing presses and risk devastating hyperinflation or the u.s.

government would have to drastically cut spending and implement pretty severe austerity measures. now it's. still ahead for you changing the charge for no ways worst peacetime atrocity please consider whether the. seventy six people should not be charged with crimes against humanity. in the ground. british. market. find out what's really happening to the global economy. headlines.

couldn't take three. three. three. three. three. three. three. without the polish investigators have concluded that pilot error was to blame for last year's small plane tragedy that's according to media reports the crash in russia claimed the lives of president lech kaczynski and much of the country's political elite was a challenge to the intergovernmental panel which blamed the flight crew of the committee pilots had ignored a warning from russian air traffic controllers to abandon the landing but decided to carry out its investigation the plane crashed during its descent into

which is you can dismantle it you nuclear program first and then we decided to talk to you that's an absolute no no i was in north korea last year and i confirmed from north korean officials directly debt this state awfully is the same state of glee as it was fifty eight years ago to morrow to morrow is that fifty eight and in verse three of the armistice that did not end the north korean war for that matter north korea south korea are still at war with each other if there's an armistice and the north koreans are saying we have to sit down the same date with the americans and then we go to formally and the war and then we're going to discuss everything including the nuclear program so this state the bargain i was trying to jump the gun to said ok first you get rid of your nuclear weapons you know that bombed on missiles and then we talk so all visited north koreans are going to watch

them just special envoy is going to watch is going to say look our position has been missing for the best fifty. e're stake it or leave it first you have to end the war it's true and the war from the north korean point of view is a war against america is not south korea they view it as a bloc that the government of the americas and they view that south korea in the minds of young of course it's still all killed by by american troops there are thirty six to thirty eight thousand us troops but the north korea says it has a western occupation of south korea so no less you start to i really doubt this and basic difference is important it's absolutely impossible to even start talking. now quarter past the hour here in moscow the man who's confessed to killing seventy six people in a rampage in norway may be charged with crimes against humanity thirty two year old and as a pretty vick has already been charged in court with terrorism which he denies the
